-2%284-3x%29-6x=10 Start with the given equation.


-8%2B6x-6x=10 Distribute.


0x-8=10 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=10%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


0x=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=18 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are NO solutions.
